"This moment is God. God comes to you silently as this moment. ‘Now’ is God. He constantly keeps coming to you as Now. This is life. This is the ‘I am God, here and now.’ Make use of this moment and bless yourself eternally."

Life of Yoga

If you are consciously trying all the time to reach out towards God in spirit, to draw nearer and nearer to Him day by day, then you are living a life of Yoga, no matter what shape your external life might take. This spirit is the most important and essential factor, which makes the life spiritual. This enables us to be united with God in the interior of our being. Neither thief, nor even nuclear bombs can take away the spiritual wealth gained from living such a Yogic life.

Spirituality which is the inner divine dimension of religion, in the sense of theology, dogma and ritual, becomes an enduring foundation of universal brotherhood and human solidarity. It is upon this foundation that we have to raise the edifice of a New Humanity. We have all to work for this. All our shared work and united efforts should be positive, constructive, creative and above all unifying. As a result, there must emerge a Global Human family with planet earth as its home. May this then be our priority task, which will make all other tasks worthwhile and meaningful. Come, come play your active part in this universal human mission. Exercise the blessed privilege of being an individual Human Family. May your being and doing be a blessing upon the contemporary scene.

World peace is possible when people of the world wake up to the facts governing Universal life and when there is heart-to-heart feeling of goodness, love and the one-ness among the inhabitants of the world.

I have a request to one and all who read these lines. If you devote one hour every day in meditation, to the projection of peace thoughts, there will be thousands of people doing the same thing every day and the effect of total effort of such auspicious, combined thought projection is inestimable. Not only will there be individual force of every such dedicated person acting in cooperation, but the additional strength received from Invisible Helpers, the ever present Masters, the Videhas, who will silently guide all and make them pursue the right path. They are the Great Beings who enter into the intellect and emotions of every good and pious person and use him as an instrument for serving mankind.

Our ancients had this sublime and vibrant concern for Peace. Peace was ever in their heart and mind for all creation. They lifted up their hearts to the universal spirit and sent forth their prayerful invocation on behalf of all existence thus.

"May peace be unto all the quarters! May peace be unto the skies! May peace be unto the earth! May peace be to the waters of the earth! May peace be to the medicinal herbs and all plants on earth! May peace be to the celestials! May peace be to Brahma, the Creator! May peace be upon Peace itself!"

"God is the inner Ruler. He goads the body, mind and senses to work. Become an instrument in the hands of the Lord. Do not expect thanks or appreciation of your work. Do actions as your duty and offer them and their fruits to the Lord. You will be freed from the bonds of Karma. Your heart will soon be purified."

~ Sri Swami Chidananda

"Do a minimum of three Malas of Japa every day. Those who find it possible may do 12 Malas a day, otherwise three malas without fail, preferably in the night. The advent of the Divine occurs in your life when you turn your gaze at the Lord and Lord alone. Thus the world recedes from your vision and fades away from your sight even as the darkness of night-fall makes the world and its objects to fade away and vanish from sight leaving you alone. So, too, let it be night for you what to the worldly-minded people attached to sense-objects is the bright day-light of world-awareness. Let your senses be subdued and quiet, as are the senses of a sleeping person at night".

"Be aware of God, that – He is now and here – and Dharma (righteousness) will spontaneously be your way of life. Your life will be the good life, the divine life. This is the truth. Ponder this truth, accept Dharma (righteousness) into your life and live with the awareness. Choose Dharma for your life, and God will choose you to make His own. He will confer upon you the highest blessedness."

गुरु गोविन्द दोऊ खड़े, काके लागू पाय |
बलिहारी गुरु आपने, गोविन्द दियो बताय ||

"Guru (The Master) and God both are standing in front of me, then whose feet shall I touch and honour first? Guru (The Master) is the one who deserved to be honoured and whose feet I should touch first, as He shows me the way to God (Self Realization) with Knowledge imparted to me through His infinite love. Therefore the importance of Guru is more than that of God."

"The great Guru is the Indwelling Consciousness. And that Great Guru is ever with you in the depth in your heart, prompting you, moving you and guiding you all the time. You are never alone. You are always under the gracious protecting presence of your Guru."
